100
This strategy involves differential reinforcments of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
What is shaping
100
This is best classified as a request

What is duration

200

This term describes something that happens immediately before a behavior?

What is an antecedent

200

Positive punishment occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

What is adding, decreases

200

This teaching method starts with the trainer doing all steps of a task and letting the learner complete the final step first

What is latency
300

What ABA term describes a stimulus change that occurs after a behavior and affects the future likelihood of that behavior occurring?

What is a consequence

300
Negative reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions
What is removal, increases
300
This strategy involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior.
What is extinction
300
This is an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented

400

An RBT records whether a client is engaging in a behavior at the exact moment each 30-second interval ends; what measurement is this?

What is momentary time sampling

400

An RBT continues to occasionally practice a program that the client has previously mastered to make sure the skill continues over time. What ABA term does this describe?

400

In ABA, what teaching strategy involves breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable steps and teaching each step in a specific sequence?

What is task analysis

400
These are the four functions of behavior
What is access to tangibles, escape, attention and automatic reinforcement
500

An RBT records whether a client engages in a behavior at any point during each 10-second interval, even if the behavior occurs for only part of the interval; what measurement procedure is being used?
